ndian-Style Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani)

ndian-Style Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani)
  • 2 teaspoons dried red chile pepper, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 5 Roma tomatoes, seeded, diced
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander


  1. Mix the ground red chile peppers, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, garam masala, salt, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and yogurt in a large bowl. Stir the chicken pieces into the yogurt mixture, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet on medium heat and cook the bell pepper slices and onion until the onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken and marinade to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, 5 to 10 minutes until the chicken firms and is no longer pink in the center.
  3. Turn up heat to medium-high and mix in the cream and coriander. Cook until mixture just begins to boil, stirring continuously. Serve immediately.
